HARRISBURG –Republican Party of
Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason is not surprised to see that seven
ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) workers
have been charged with falsifying voter registration forms during the
2008 election cycle.

“It’s about time that
ACORN is held accountable for submitting thousands of fraudulent voter
registration forms this past fall,” Gleason said. “When our Party
took the lead in going after ACORN last year, we were deeply concerned
about the damage that this group’s activities were having on our
electoral system as a result of their efforts, which flooded county
voter registration offices with thousands of fraudulent
registrations.

“Our Party will
continue to monitor this group’s activities in the hopes of preventing
these types of activities from happening again.”

Today, the Pittsburgh
Post-Gazette broke news that seven ACORN employees were charged with
committing voter fraud and the Allegheny County District Attorney
confirmed that this investigation could expand. Click here to
